/c/TenFoward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!
Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.
~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Hating someone off of their race, culture, creed, sexuality, or identity is not remotely acceptable. Mistakes can happen but do your best to respect others.
~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.
~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.
~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.
~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.
~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.
~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon' and fuck over our artist friends.
Fun will now commence.

Although it poses the question of how bus punk could have remembered being nerve pinched - since the past was changed, Kirk and co. almost certainly wouldn't have gone back in time to 1986. My theory is that it was so impactful that he felt it across timelines.
As the second season of SNW demonstrated, time travel in Trek is firmly rooted in the 'big ball of wibbly-wobbly timey-wimey stuff' theory. Contradictory time travel shenanigans happen all the time. The random accidental time travel, sporadic deliberate time travel, perpetual temporal war, and ocassional bored god-like being have really done a number on the universe's temporal cohesion. They probably have less of a timeline and more of a time-bowl-of-spaghetti.
It gives me hope that maybe Picard took place in the alternate timeline. Although it kind of has something interesting to tell I don't like how Picard made the Borg stupidly powerful. Basically no one should be able to survive them and yet somehow they basically are a non-threat like 95% of the time.
That's been a problem for the entire series, not just Picard. The Borg have assimilated thousands of species, yet the (human-centric) Federation somehow manages to beat them every time because humans are special or something.
